Vitamin Supplements Cause Cancer? Does our food?

I recently read, probably on ATS, that those that take vitamin supplements have higher risk of cancer, and experts dont know why.

Consider this. Some of our food, such as cereals, has vitamins and minerals artificially added to it, like vitamin supplements would, i suppose.

Could this be a link to the large number of cancer victims in America?

Everything gives you cancer. Then a new study shows that initial results were wrong and that it doesn't. Then current studies show, in fact, that everything does give you cancer.

But really, I wonder how much things like increased radio waves, emissions from electronic devices, and powerlines have to do with higher occurences of cancer.

I also believe that this is true. I played softball with an older guy who had this theory about it. He said when he was a kid, a gallon of milk didn't hardly last a week much less 3 weeks, and a loaf of bread would have mold on it in half the time that it would today. He seemed to think it was the preservitives but i think that the vitamin supplements may play a role as well.

The food we get from the supermarkets is that heavily processed it's a joke. Just look at all the preservatives and other stuff they put into the food now. Whether or not it's healthy is anybodies guess. Go down to the shop and pick up an ice-cream and read the label. Some of the ingredients have names that long you can't even pronounce them.

But it's not only the food. There is toxic stuff in everything from soaps/shampoo's to toothpaste.

No wonder the pharmacutical companies are doing a roaring trade. Just about everything you come into contact with has the potential to make you sick.
